\"textiles\"<\/a>

by Mary Schoeser<\/p><\/div>\n

What has 567 pages, over 1,000 images, weighs over 7 pounds, and has enough inspiration to keep your artistic juices flowing for a very long time? Mary Schoeser’s latest book: Textiles The Art of Mankind<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"textiles-a\"<\/p>\n

The book features work from around the world, with both historical pieces and contemporary ones.\u00a0 It is an overwhelming tome of text and visuals that I will periodically be dipping in and out of for a long time to fully take it in.<\/p>\n

\"Textiles-9\"<\/p>\n

\"Textiles-8\"<\/p>\n

\"Textiles-7\"<\/p>\n

\"Textiles-5\"<\/p>\n

\"Textiles-6\"<\/p>\n

\"Textiles-4\" \"Textiles-3\"<\/p>\n

\"Textiles-2\"<\/p>\n

One of my quilts, Squared Illusions 6<\/em>, is included (bottom right above). I do wish that the important fact that the piece is primarily made from digitally-printed pigmented ink on fabric was included in the description. Even so, I am incredibly thrilled and honored to have work in this book.<\/p>\n

Books published by Thames & Hudson are often beautifully displayed at museums around the world, and for good reason. They are gorgeous to look at, informative to read, and provide massive amounts of inspiration. This book is no exception. While expensive, at $95 retail, Amazon<\/a> sells it for nearly $30 less. And, since the book is over $25, you can get free ground shipping with it. If you love textiles, consider treating yourself to this beauty.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
